Time Inc. CEO Joe Ripp plans to ship 300-plus jobs to Brooklyn before year’s end and in the process become the first major media company to welcome employees’ dogs into the work area.

“We are in active negotiations with the owners of Industry City to open an engineering office in Brooklyn,” said Time Inc. in an internal memo obtained by Media Ink.

“Dogs are permitted in the space (they must be on a leash in common areas),” the memo says. “We will keep conference rooms dog-free to accommodate staff with allergies; an area of the office will likewise be designated as a canine-free zone.”

The memo seems to acknowledge that it will take some additional incentives to get people excited about being shipped out of Manhattan to the warehouse space near the Brooklyn waterfront.

“The plan is to bring in lunch for staff each day to supplement the local dining options,” says the unsigned memo.

No mention is made if this will also include dog food for canines’ lunches or if the pet lovers will be on their own on that front.

The space will also be fitted with showers and bike racks — again presumably for human use only. The memo does not specify.

The groups heading there include the technology, production and engineering (TP&E) department under Chief Technology Officer Colin Bodell and the people reporting to former Entertainment Weekly Editor-in-Chief Matt Bean in his new role as senior vice president of editorial innovation.

One of the innovations Bean is about to unveil is a new vertical aimed at the auto industry to be called The Drive.

Sources say he has already hired Mike Guy, former digital director of Maxim, to be the editor. Eric Goeres, former general manager of digital product for Hearst’s Road & Track and Esquire, has been hired as The Drive’s new GM.

Most of the employees going to Brooklyn had originally expected to land at 225 Liberty St., the new downtown headquarters of Time Inc., which is expected to open in late December, according to one source.

He speculated the new space downtown can’t accommodate all the NYC employees, even with the recent cutbacks.

The memo is accompanied by pictures of the cavernous unfinished Brooklyn space, which suggests architects are going to have to hurry to finish the 55,000 square feet of space over two floors plus a 10,000-square-foot garage work space for “Matt’s initiatives.”

“We will be building out the space to personalize it for engineers and creative staff in Matt’s team,” says the memo. It also shows designs of what the completed open office structure will look like, complete with indoor slides and pinball machines.

“The reaction when people first walk in will be ‘wow’,” says the memo.
